Answer:

(- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 2x - 15

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5 ← left x- intercept

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 ← right x- intercept

Suppose we have two thermometers. One thermometer is very precise but is delicate and heavy (X). We have another thermometer tha
Temka [501]

Answer:

a)H0: β1= 1 and Ha: β1 ≠1

b) The test statistic is____.t= b- β/ sb

c) The p-value is____.0.999144

(d) Therefore, we can conclude that:_____. there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.    

2) The data provides no evidence at the 0.1 significance level that these thermometers are not consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: β1= 1 and Ha: β1 ≠1

The significance level is  alpha= 0.1 but ∝/2 =0.1/2= 0.05 for two tailed test.

The critical region at t ∝/2 (29)=  t ≤ - 1.699 , t ≥ 1.699

The test statistic is

t= b- β/ sb

which has t distribution with υ= 31-2= 29 degrees of freedom.

Calculations

Ŷ = a +bX

b = SPxy /SS x= Σ(xi-x`)(yi-y`)/Σ(xi-x`)²

b = 39671.6/39680= 0.9998

a = y` - bx`

x`= 60

y`= 59.989

a = 59.989 -0.9998*60 = 0.001734

Syx²= Σ( yi -y`)²/ n-2= 39663.3857/ 29=1367.68965

Syx= 36.9822

Sb= Syx/ √∑  (x-x`)²

Sb= 36.9823/ √39680

Sb= 36.9823/ 199.984

Sb= 0.18493

Putting the values

The test statistic is

t= b- β/ sb

t= 0.9998-1/ 0.18493      ( β=1 given)

t=-0.0010815

Since the calculated t=-0.0010815  does not lie in the critical region  t ∝/2 (29)=  t ≤ - 1.699 , t ≥ 1.699 we conclude that these thermometers seem to be measure temperatures.

The p-value is  ≈ 0.999144

there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Find the value of Y .
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:  (C) 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The corresponding sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are: b - b√3 - 2b

The side corresponding to 90° is 8 = 2b   --> b = 4

The side corresponding to 30° is  y = b  <em>as stated above, b = 4</em>, so y = 4

A ferry is travelling at a constant speed back to the dock, as shown in the graph. Which
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

<h2>y = -35x + 105</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph represents a function between hours and miles.

To determine the equation that belong to this graph, first we need to find the slope using two points from the graph: (0, 105) and (3, 0).

The definition of slope is

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } =\frac{0-105}{3-0}=\frac{-105}{3}=-35

Notice that the slope is -35. Remember that the slope is always the coefficient of variable x. So, the choice that has this slope is the right answer.

Therefore, the right answer is the last choice: y = -35x + 105
